To produce more food and tackle the labor scarcity, agriculture needs safer robots for repetitive and unsafe tasks (such as spraying). The interaction between humans and robots presents some challenges to ensure a certifiable safe collaboration between human-robot, a reliable system that does not damage goods and plants, in a context where the environment is mostly dynamic, due to the constant environment changes. A well-known solution to this problem is the implementation of real-time collision avoidance systems. This paper presents a global overview about state of the art methods implemented in the agricultural environment that ensure human-robot collaboration according to recognised industry standards. To complement are addressed the gaps and possible specifications that need to be clarified in future standards, taking into consideration the human-machine safety requirements for agricultural autonomous mobile robots.
